Imagine yourself in an oasis of peace in this 80m2 cottage located on the outskirts of Gorssel in a walled green garden full of bamboo and rhododendron, surrounded by beautiful tall trees and an estate. Inside the cabin is a loft with an upper sitting area with a hanging wood stove, a kitchen with bar and a double bedroom with bathroom and upstairs in the ridge/loft there are 3 more sleeping places. Parallel to the house is an unheated natural swimming pool with a 13 meter swimming lane and a helophyte filter with lava stones and yellow lis for purifying the water. When the temperature rises, the water also heats up quite quickly. If you dare, you can swim all year round! The house is located on the outskirts of Gorssel, a beautiful village surrounded by woods and heathland. 10 minutes away are the Hanseatic cities of Deventer and Zutphen. The house is located on a small quiet road.

Nature and surroundings

The cottage is close to the woods. Walk, bike or drive left to the end of the road, then right and left again and you are in the woods. Nearby are nice villages and towns: Gorssel itself, Joppe, Epse, Deventer, Zutphen. At the end of the street is the outdoor pool Boskoele where you can from the Lindeboomweg. The Sallandse Heuvelrug is close by and is a beautiful nature reserve for walking and / or cycling. A little further away is national park Weerribben-Wieden. Weerribben-Wieden is the largest low moorland swamp area in northwestern Europe. A past of peat cutters and reed cutters created a beautiful area full of lakes, canals, reed beds, marsh forests and quaking fens. In addition to nature, there are historic towns and villages such as Giethoorn and Steenwijk. Fun to explore by car or bike, but even better with an electric boat or canoe. For rent anywhere.

    We are very dissatisfied with the value for money of this cottage. The house doesn’t match the photos. It feels like a Tinder date where you discover that the photo of the person you’re meeting is from ten years ago. It’s basically a beautiful place, but it gives off a “worn-out” impression. We noticed a lack of maintenance both inside and out. Upon arrival, it hadn’t been cleaned properly—there was grass growing through the wooden beds and a broken light fixture. Inside, there were cobwebs and dirty spots everywhere. There were non-perishable food items, many of which were past their expiration dates. For a three-week stay, we were provided with only two towels and one set of bedding. That issue was resolved, as was arranging for some extra cleaning, but communicating with the landlord was difficult and frustrating. He thought we were just complainers and even suggested that we should just cancel. And that on the very first day of our vacation.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    The cottage is surrounded by a house behind it and vegetation. The area is quite peaceful. There is little to no noise from a nearby cottage, the adjacent sports fields, or a swimming pool. There were two of us, but we don’t think it’s suitable for five adults. The bed upstairs is a single unit and would be a tight fit for three adults. The bed downstairs is fine and spacious. The swimming pond is wonderful. The cottage is compact (everything is laid out lengthwise). Unfortunately, there’s hardly any storage space. There are no screens on the doors, so insects can easily get inside.
    The surroundings are beautiful, and Gorssel itself is charming. You can also go for lovely walks in the nearby woods.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful place. The vacation home was fantastic—cozy, comfortable, and truly equipped with every amenity. Our dogs had a wonderful time, too; the spacious yard is a true paradise for them to explore.

    The swimming pond was an absolute bonus. It was wonderfully refreshing on hot days, but even on a less sunny day, it’s a pleasure to watch and listen to the soothing water. The location, surrounded by greenery, makes the picture complete.

    The mattresses and pillows also deserve a compliment. We slept wonderfully—and that’s something you don’t find just anywhere. In short, a fantastic place where both people and pets can enjoy themselves to the fullest. We’d love to come back again!

    A lovely, luxurious home with convenient amenities, such as tea and coffee, linens, toiletries, spices, and more.

    The best place on earth with temperatures above 35 degrees, featuring a private pool and a house with air conditioning and a heat pump that cools.
